Something has that DLL open/locked.  I suppose it doesn't have to be
Cygwin but I wouldn't know what that would be.  Any rogue cygwin1.dlls
on your system.

To be sure you've excluded all things Cygwin from this install, do a
'cygrunsrv --list' followed by a 'cygrunsrv --stop <service_name>'
where <service_name> is any service you see listed by the previous
command.
